      This code in rec_write.c:

          /*
     * Track the tree's maximum transaction ID (used to decide if it's safe to discard the tree) and
     * maximum timestamp.
     */
    if (WT_TXNID_LT(btree->rec_max_txn, r->max_txn))
        btree->rec_max_txn = r->max_txn;
    if (btree->rec_max_timestamp < r->max_ts)
        btree->rec_max_timestamp = r->max_ts;

      Can have two or more threads writing to the same btree, this is a race and the max may not be the true max. We should fix this.
